Their short-lived romance was over before it had begun but there was a still a frosty atmosphere between them noted by others.

But tonight, Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins put their off-screen drama behind them as they reunited for the European premiere of their new film Abduction in London.

There was certainly no suggestion of any animosity between them as they posed with their arms around each other at the screening which took place at the IMAX cinema in Waterloo.

Ever the professionals: Despite reports they had split up almost two weeks ago, Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins looked relaxed in each other's company as they posed for pictures at the European premiere of their new film Abduction

Had enough now, Lily? The young actress - the daughter of legendary singer Phil Collins - looked ready to break away from her ex as they posed for more pictures inside the cinema

The pair led the red carpet celebrities at the premiere of the film, which tells the story of teenager Nathan Harper, played by Lautner, who finds out that his parents are not really his.

He makes the discovery when he sees his baby picture on a missing persons website shown to him by his neighbour and longtime crush Karen Lowell, played by Collins.

In the spotlight: Lily looked as though she was getting used to the attention at the screening of the film, her third big screen venture

The actress, 22, who is the daughter of legendary singer Phil Collins, looked very much like a rock chick at tonight's bash in a short black dress that was adorned with studded leather strips which she teamed with towering black peep-toed heels.

And she looked as though she was getting used to the red carpet attention as she posed for the cameras, with this film being her third big screen venture.

Mail Online managed to grab Collins very briefly on the rain-soaked red carpet and when asked if she had any musical ambitions like her dad, she said: 'I love to sing but I prefer to act'

Taylor looked very smart and sexy in his black suit and white T-shirt, which delighted the hundreds of fans that had waited in the rain to see the Twilight star.

They screamed his name and pushed to get autographs and their photo taken with the young hunk, who built up a huge fan following because of his role as Jacob in the Twilight series.

And he was only to happy to oblige as he ignored the drizzle and stopped to talk to fans, many of whom had pressed up against the IMAX windows to catch a glimpse of their pin-up.

He and Lily are believed to have got together during filming but a few days ago, US Weekly reported that called it quits just one week before the September 15 premiere in the US.

But according to sources, the pair couldn't be amicable towards each other and things were rather frosty between them at the after-party.

One said: 'It was a clean break that Taylor initiated. At the Abduction party, it was awkward. They barely said a word to one another.'

Although it's been reported that the two actually engaged in a real-life romance, neither Taylor, Lily nor their reps have actually confirmed the claim.

Abduction is released in the UK on Wednesday September 28.
